The Fan Cans are being touted by Anheuser-Busch as the perfect tailgate accompaniment on its Web site, TailgateApproved.com. "Show your colors!" the site says. "Put your hand around a fan can!"
But the cans, which the site says come in 26 color combinations in 24- and 30-packs, haven't got everyone doing the wave.
The cans are being marketed to match the colors of towns with college football teams, a move that has some school administrators up in arms, according to the Wall Street Journal. For example, purple-and-gold cans are being sold near the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La.
Samuel L. Stanley, president of New York's Stony Brook University, called the campaign "categorically unacceptable," and the University of Michigan has threatened to sue to make certain "maize and blue" cans are not sold anywhere in the Great Lakes state. At least 25 schools have asked Anheuser-Busch to stop selling the cans near their campuses, the paper said. The company said it would comply with any formal request by a university.
Company officials told the Journal that the campaign uses the "color schemes to connect with fans of legal drinking age in fun ways in select markets across a variety of sports."

We have a system now where consultants to Big Insurance decide whether or not people get cared for. You... have Cancer too bad; it is cost efficient for the Insurance companies they wont make a profit.
You have a sick baby with 104-degree temp. OHHHH too baaad. Your not at the right hospital for your insurance you have to wait for hours to get to the right one and by then your child is in cardiac arrest and dies. What about the heroes that worked tirelessly when the 9/11 attack occurred? Are they being helped with the diseases that they sustained due to the stuff that was flying in the air NO WAY!
France, Canada and oooooo eewwwww even the Satan country Cuba has better healthcare that we Americans do. Why are we paying so much for so little. Why are we working ourselves to death for no benefits and when we do have them we are denied care.
To sum up It is time for us to have Free Universal Healthcare for ALL NOW for we are all created equal and we all deserve the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Big business and greedy government officials are treading on our inalienable rights. did you know in this great country that you will be put out by the side of the road if you don’t have money for healthcare whether you are healed or not.

Everywhere else in the world, if there is a legal age to consume alcohol it's 18 or less. Why, exactly, are Americans too stupid to decide whether or not to drink a beer until they turn 21?
